Now Playing: Rise Of The Ronin: Hard Mode Gameplay
No specific sales totals were mentioned by Koei Tecmo, other than comparing the strong start for Rise of the Ronin with the Nioh series. Before Nioh 2 launched in 2020, it was announced that Nioh had sold 3 million copies across PS4 and PC. Nioh 2 initially launched on PS4 before eventually arriving on PS5 about a year later in 2021–along with a remastered version of the first game that same year. In October 2022, Team Ninja revealed that the Nioh series had reached 7 million units sold worldwide.
Even years later, Nioh 2 still stands out in the Souls-like space. Meanwhile, Rise of the Ronin goes in a bit of a new direction by Team Ninja in offering an open world in the game. There was some controversy about the action-RPG earlier this year, with Sony confirming Rise of the Ronin wouldn’t come out in South Korea.
